Re: Installing a python package with pipx

A packages documentation is always your best friend: https://pypi.org/project/idle/ Also, python script isn't a necessarily a standalone executable. And also, you shouldn't just wildly mix pipx commands with pip commands if you don't know what you are doing. Either create a venv with python3 -m

Help! secure boot is preventing boot of debian

I have a PC with two operating systems installed, Debian, and Opensuse. Both are installed with Secure Boot. Each has its own grub installation. Normally I boot debian, and if I want to boot opensuse I select UEFI settings from the main menu and select opensuse from there which launches the

Re: Installing a python package with pipx

That's the point of venv's. pipx runpip should do the trick. Or the classic way: source path/to/venv/bin/activate. That way you activate the position virtual environment (venv) created in that directory with all packages installed in that venv. Richard On Sat, Jun 1, 2024, 19:10 Richmond wrote:

Re: Installing a python package with pipx

Looking at the package, no wonder it fails. musicpy doesn't contain anything that can be executed. So pipx run can't work for obvious reasons. You'll have to install it with pipx install and use it in a python script. https://pypi.org/project/musicpy/ Richard On Sat, Jun 1, 2024, 18:40 Richmond

Re: Installing a python package with pipx

If you haven't closed the terminal window/logged out, you need to run source .bashrc. Running pipx ensurepath should have said something like that. Richard On Sat, Jun 1, 2024, 18:10 Richmond wrote: > I have been trying to install this: > > https://pypi.org/project/musicpy/#description > >
